What this PR does / why we need it:
A user got confused by the outdated client-go leaderelection Go package documentation, ref. Slack thread. This PR is an attempt to update it. I am not an expert on leader-election, so please suggest improvements! The current package documentation focuses on internal implementation details and potential issues. It seems less relevant after the migration to leases, but please let me know if some of it still applies.
